13 matched panels · 1.26 to 1.575 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets
The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.
What the sheets say
Planar and Sony overlap on 13 matched pairs between 1.26 and 1.575 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
Planar is the lighter cabinet in 13 of 13 matched pairs, Sony in 0. Across their lineups that is 14 to 34 kg/m² against 41 to 46 kg/m².
Planar draws less at full white in 13 of 13 matched pairs, Sony in 0. Lineups: 321 to 1,200 W/m² against 574 to 755 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
Cabinet formats: Planar builds in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 604.8×680.4, 500×1000 mm; Sony in 608×342, 610×343 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
A hanging limit is published for none of its 39 panels by Planar and for none of its 8 panels by Sony; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
Typical draw is estimated as a third of the maximum where a sheet publishes no figure: Planar for 14 of 39, Sony for none.
Matched panels, side by side
Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
